Tayne Talks: A Reality TV Podcast

This was a rough episode. All of the couples save for Steve and Noi, seem to be going through tough times and we discuss how the couples seem unhappy. We also discuss how the couples seem to get over fights really quickly, how we have never talked about how much wine is drank on the show and we get a little heated about how Olajuwon speaks to Katina on this episode and wonder where the experts are...

The couples have a housewarming party with their friends and family coming over but nothing exciting happens at any of the parties. All the drama in this episode happens outside of the parties. There was so much to discuss this episode. We try to make sense of Steve and Noi's fight while trying to figure out if Mark and Lindsey will ever get over their fight at the bowling alley with the harsh...

The couples are back in Boston and things aren't going so well for most of the couples. We discuss Pastor Cal's visit with the couples. and the words of wisdom he left with the couples. We discuss Katina cooking for Olajuwon, Michael's shadiness, Steve and Noi's points of view when it comes to finances and much more. We answer another fun listener question and as always give a soci...

We are still in Puerto Rico with the couples as the Chris & Alyssa show continues as both of them continue to hold out on pulling the plug. We discuss Alyssa's seemingly irrational disdain for Chris and wonder how long we have to watch this go on. We cross our fingers for Steve and Noi and wonder if Jasmina and Michael can recover. Mark and Lindsey get tested this week and Olajuwon continu...

We are still in Puerto Rico with the couples and we discuss how insane it is that some of the ladies are dropping the L word already. We continue to side-eye Lindsey and Alyssa as she continues her one woman war against Chris. We talk about Olajuwon's love bombing and incessant talking, why we were exhausted by Jasmina and Michael's fight and ponder the reasons for Mark's 180. We answe...

This episode kicked the show out of neutral and got things going. Per tradition, we re-watch the couples spend their first night together and get their honeymoon going in Puerto Rico. We discuss how Alyssa continues to handle things poorly, the Lindsey that is entertainment for us but probably a nightmare for her castmates and Jasmina & Michael's first disagreement. And of course, the big...

The four remaining singles become legally bound in marriage, and receptions kick into high gear as the couples get to know their spouses' family and friends. We are grateful all the weddings are out the way. Steve and Noi gave us the feels and we appreciate the cultural lessons we are learning from the show. We still can't get a read from Jasmina and we give a side eye to Katina's mom....

The second episode offers up two more weddings and we still have two more weddings to go. In this episode, we discuss how unnecessary the dress/tux shopping scenes are and how it made for a dull episode that felt like filler. Tayne continues to hate on Michael. We wonder if it was really champagne in their glasses and discuss which groom we find the hottest. Don't forget on Monday, you can fin...

We recorded this fun episode sometime in April and it was so fun! In this bonus episode, we rank all the seasons of MAFS that we have watched (excluding seasons 12 and 13). Tayne has watched all the seasons and Ade had watched 7 of them. We explain how we came about our rankings and what criteria we used.

We talked a little bit about Nigerian weddings in one of our episodes and we had a listener ask us to talk more about it and we did. In this bonus episode, which we did earlier in the year, Tayne and Ade speak about their culture as Nigerians, specifically about Nigerian weddings. We walk you through the many and various steps required, before getting to the actual wedding(s). We talk about the si...

We conclude the season when Kevin Frazier talks to Johnny & Bao, the women in the group, the experts and the group all together. We discuss our disappointment at Kevin not asking certain questions, the group's dynamic, the awfulness of Johnny and Gil's sadness. We also rank all the Ryans that MAFS has ever had! Thank you for listening to another season. We appreciate each and everyone...

We made it to the end! The couples decide whether they would like to stay married or get a divorce. Not a lot of surprises and it was more entertaining than expected save for the weird voice overs for the journey packages.

So much to talk about but we discuss the couples at their couples retreat and divide the couples into the happy/unhappy couples. You know the episode was truly about "the fight". We break down every single frame of it and try to make sense of what the heck we just watched. Don't forget on Monday, you can find an Unfiltered + Journey So Far special recap episode on our Patreon at www.pa...

Pastor Cal and Dr. Pepper stop by to speak to the couples individually and give them guidance on how to navigate their relationships. We talk about how cute Myrla and Gil were even if Myrla was drunk. We are still side eyeing Jose and as always Brett and Ryan are still at a standstill. We also talk about the continued downfall of Johnny and Bao and the ridiculous fight between Michaela and Zack. A...

On this episode, we give a quick highlight recap of episode 11 and dive into this week's episode that is centered around Johnny's self sabotage. We talk through our stages of anger at Johnny and wonder if Zack and Michaela are being genuine. We give kudos to Ryan for not being cruel to Brett even though he doesn't want her, are surprised Rachel and Jose have moved on and wonder what th...

We have received many questions about Love Is Blind and Netflix finally gave us a reason to talk about it! This 3 episode special follows the lives of the "PodSquad" two years after their groundbreaking show. We revel in the cuteness of Lauren and Cameron and the Barnett's struggles and we express our frustration at Damien and G's sham of a relationship and why everything about the...

On this episode we wonder what the heck we watched on this explosive episode where most of the couples are in a bad place and not even Dr. Viviana can help them. Johnny and Bao are in a good place this week and Myrla and Gil make progress in their relationship. Jose, Zack and Ryan are not their best selves this week and we wonder yet again how the show managed to find what seems like the most inse...

The experts are encouraging the couples to fall in love or as Pastor Cal puts it "create feelings" and on this episode we discuss the ones that heeded that advice and those that seem to be running the opposite direction. We talk about Ryan & Brett getting closer through...Jenga. We can't decide if Ryan falls in love quickly or not as we can't keep up with the untruths. Rachel a...

On this episode, the couples get with their family and friends by welcoming them to their home with a themed housewarming (well, for some). This was not a good week for most of the couples as things were not looking good but it meant we had plenty to talk about. We're sick and tired of Gil taking jabs at Myrla and making an issue of her spending but we admit that it was a sweet moment when the...

The couples visit each other's homes and move into their lovely apartment on this week's episode. We join the couples in appreciating what we dubbed the nicest apartment MAFS has ever had. It doesn't take long for habits and differences to show up and we were here for it all. We think Rachel and Jose are going to be okay, everyone should aspire to the self assurance of Myrla and Gil re...
